Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 253: Virtue?

After Davis arrived in front of her room, he knocked on the door.After a few seconds of silence, a trembling voice echoed out, "... Who is it?""Scythe..." Davis replied in a casual tone.A few seconds passed before the door opened.Davis shot a look at her, wondering why this woman was trembling. Then he blinked and realized that it was night time and a man visiting a woman only had one meaning most of the time."Say, can I come in?" Davis asked calmly, hiding his awkwardness.Since he came, it would be even more suspicious if he left without saying anything.Natalya had her eyes wide, her heart increased its beat at a faster rate."Yes..." She meekly uttered as she held the door.Davis came in as he glanced at the empty room. Other than the bed and a table with some utensils, there was nothing else.Only a faint fragrance lingered that said that it was a woman's room.Seeing that there were no chairs either, he went and sat on the bed without commenting on anything. Just as he sat and turned to glance at her, his eyes widened. Follow current on novelenglish.net

*Plop*Natalya went on her knees and bowed down her head to the ground, "Young Master Scythe! I promise to serve you until my life ends! You can order me around and ask anything of me other than my innocence..."Davis had quite a pissed off expression on his face but turned into a pitiful one as he thought about her current situation.When he thought from her point of view, he could more or less understand her desperate outburst.After all, she was entirely helpless against him in case he decided to do something malicious to her.He took a slight breath and said, "I'm not going to ask anything of you nor am I to do anything to you."Natalya became startled. She raised up her head and looked at his young face.Davis was not wearing a mask, only a black robe that hid his figure below the neck."Also, other than buying ingredients for me to concoct spirit juices, I would advise you to buy some cultivation manual and resources that help you to increase your cultivation.""Didn't I hand you over 3000 Low-Level Spirit Stones? This is enough for you to get to the Fifth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation on your own."Davis looked at her mouth go agape in shock, but still continued, "I know it's hard to forget about the past but you don't need to forget it.""Instead of forgetting you should accept that it had happened and move on or go out and venture around investigating with that puny cultivation of yours.""But if you do the latter, you will absolutely die or even have a worse ending. So I advise you to stay here and cultivate till you feel you have the strength to investigate your past by yourself." Follow current on novel-online.com

"Also, there's no need for you to call me master, young master, young lord anymore... Just call me Scythe as the former options are quite annoying considering that your position is not something like my subordinate or subject."Natalya kept calling him with different honorifics and he was quite annoyed by it.Davis furrowed his brows as he asked, "Do you understand?" Natalya nodded her head slowly, indicating that she understood while her facial expression indicated that she was at a loss."So tell me, what do you want to do in the future?""I..." Natalya moved her lips but thought hard and contemplated his words for a few seconds yet wasn't ultimately able to make a decision, "I don't know..."His furrows deepened, "Tell me, what do you feel about staying in this residence?"Natalya suddenly went silent before hanging her head low. The next moment she looked back at him and uttered, "I feel grateful for letting me stay in this place and thankful for having such a wonderful person as my benefactor..."Davis was amused, "Your previous actions don't match up with your latter sentence..."Natalya blushed in shame, "That's... I didn't know what benefactor has on mind. So when benefactor came here, I instantly thought..."Davis sighed as he shook his head in fake disappointment, "So you were having naughty thoughts all month long...""No! It isn't like that!" Natalya desperately shouted, a little hurt that he thought of her this way."I don't understand one thing though..." Davis suddenly uttered. Follow current on storynovel.net

Natalya got startled before she asked, "What?""Why are you so desperately trying to protect your innocence? Do you already have a man in your heart?""No, I don't have any such person in my heart!" Natalya quickly replied as she patted her breast."Then why are you so desperate? Objectively speaking, becoming my woman seems like a big opportunity for you who has no one to hold on to... Excuse me but, I find this really weird and suspicious..."The woman in front of him had gathered all her courage to repeatedly remind him to spare her despite him showing no signs of being a sinister person.Was she trying reverse psychology by acting cute, innocent and frail? Rather than trying to think, he decided to straightforwardly ask."I just want to know your intentions..." Davis calmly questioned.Natalya looked at his eyes that were full of curiosity, a while later she sighed, "Before that, I want to ask whether if you had considered about your prospective wife's virtue.""No..." Davis casually answered. Although it was not the truth, it was technically correct because he already knew about Evelynn's virtue.There was no future wife for him to consider as she was already one in his mind."No wonder benefactor doesn't understand. Pardon my rudeness, but I think benefactor is still young."Natalya took a deep breath and explained, "I am a woman who is only willing to lose my innocence to the person who I am going to spend my life with, not to some grand person who is just powerful but doesn't know how to reciprocate my feelings.""I'm willing to work for that grand person but not live..."Davis's eyes widened a moment before he uttered in understanding, "I see..."The common and innocent people here highly valued morals and a proper way of life rather than living however they wanted to with their lives.Although this lessened individuality and independence, this helped male and female promiscuity to lessen to a great degree in a wide sense.In this world where billions of people were available for a relationship, why would they want to live with a morally depraved person? Instead, they felt that they should wait for the right person for them, even if many years passed as they could live for a long time with the help of cultivation.
